The HotBox uses various different modern technologies to solve a problem in the food industry. The project is designed to house different kinds of warm-hot ready-made food and keep them properly warm for customer health and enjoyment. Once an order is in the system and is placed in the vacant box, the box securely locks the food inside. A notification (email) is then sent to the customer, letting them know that their food is warming and ready for pick up. The customer will also receive a QR code/barcode in the notification for order validation. The customer must scan their QR code/barcode in order to unlock the box and take their ready warm food. Majority of food that is ordered online and picked up in stores is cold and unenjoyable to the customer. And due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online ordering was a necessity to a lot of restaurants to reduce in person traffic. However, due to this, a lot of restaurants had increased traffic due to more online orders. With our system, we wish to provide customers with warm safe food and limit in store traffic with our notification system so you know when your food is hot and ready to be eaten.
